Hi all,
I was shooting a soccer match today, after the first half i imported al my raw files, since needed to shoot mainly archive/portraits. in halftime i imported all my photo's. Aperture hang on the last picture, and the second half was starting so i force quited Aperture (since it hang) and ejected my card. Of course i needed to format since my cards where all full or used in another body.
After i came back from second half. 100 of the 1500 shots had previews but all files where offline.
I checked my aplibrary which was only 2.5GB. But with a 16GB card that was full i expected AT LEAST 16GB. (by the way the aperture library was empty)
I check also via “Show Package content” but trash was empty, and no masters file found from that part.
It seemed he deleted just all my masters, while they where there.
Any tip how to solve of retrieve my images back.
Tried recovering my CF card, but that saved only 100 photos.
Anyone, i am pretty desperate
Sorry but I can’t understand everything you have written. I seems that the import didn’t finish or work and that you reformatted the cards to shoot the second half. I fear the worse for you. Please buy more cards and do not use them till you know the files are transferred to the computer properly.
What was the destination of the images for AP import? To the AP lib or were they to remain where they are (on the card)? If you import another card where does it want to put the images. Check that location for the lost images. Good luck.

If you click on last import do you see them? Build a filter to show all for the last few days.

I know where it went wrong, normally i never format a card within matches. So thats a mistake i will never make anymore.
Second my aperture keeps crashing since the latest small upgrade 3.3.1.
So he hangs on completing the last file, and thanks to the hurry i shut down aperture, i just press quite on a warning notice.
Later in second half i got the same message telling me that the import has nog completed and will delete all incompleted files, why he deleted al my good imported images is unclear. but that was the issue.
Because i formatted and completely filled my card in second half recovering is not possible.
